Took a look at the manifest...Salvatore's destination is Galion, OhioThe address for Sebastiano D'Amico is South Market St. 925(?), Galion, OhioThe passenger immediately above him is going to the same person in Galion, Ohio, who is listed as his brother-in-law.

Just came across these posts. I don't know if you are still looking for info, but my father-in-law, Mario, (85) is Salvatore and Parmina's (née Vinci) only surviving son. He said the kids names were Pauline, Nunzio, Rosie, Lena, Joseph, Jenny, Frank, Philly (drowned at age 12), and Mario. Also, Mario said he remembers his mother's name was Parmina, but he said he remembered someone calling her Lena. He said his parents also had male twins (born before the other children) that both died of pneumonia one year apart. Are you a relative?
